The Power of Touch

"A pat on the back, a caress of the arm-these are everyday, incidental gestures that we usually take for granted, thanks to our amazingly dexterous hands. But after years spent immersed in the science of touch, I can tell you that they are far more profound than we usually realize: They are our primary language of compassion, and a primary means for spreading compassion..."

 

A wave of studies has documented some incredible emotional and physical health benefits that come from touch. This research is suggesting that touch is truly fundamental to human communication, bonding, and health. Read more from Brian Jackson on touch...

Remember how glorious it was to be in love? But where did that delicious feeling go? Can you recreate the experience of being in love in your current relationship? And what if you're single? How then to find love?

 

It's almost a sick twist of fate. Most of our best efforts to get back in love actually produce the opposite result. We end up fighting and feeling more distant instead of deliciously close. The sad truth is, the more we WANT love, the less we GET. 

 

In this insightful interactive evening together, you will be surprised to find out how you make things worse in your relationships without realizing it. You will also take home two simple mind-blowing actions you can take to quickly step back into love now. Space is limited to 18, so be sure to register early to secure your self a seat. (For singles and couples)

 

Just for reading this and being someone committed to love, we have a free gift for you! Go to our website now while you are thinking about it and receive our free relationship gift! Hundreds of people have revitalized their love and sex life from what we give. Register Online here.
